Bicycle shops, car dealerships, tire shops, walk around and its squeak squeak squeak. I would presume that the tires are out-gassing something that falls on the floor and causes a squeak. Anyone know what that chemical is or what does in fact cause the squeaking when you walk around at a shop that has tires in it?

Most of the time those floors are very smooth, probably even waxed or treated with a sealer, etc. I think it is the smoothness that causes your rubber soled shoes to be more prone to squeaking, not some discrete chemical compound.
I can make my Raebok shoes squeak good and loud, if I want to. Where are my socks? cuhulin
I think the squeaking is you being too tight to buy a decent pair of shoes...
It's called floor wax! Duh!
The first time I piloted a floor buffer when I was in the Army, that buffer got away from me.The second or third time it was easy. cuhulin
That's always fun...it starts spinning wildly and (hopefully without the socket) pulls the plug out of the wall...
